Husband wore twice, does not like. Can you believe it!? Running Shoes are for the avid trail runner looking for a comfortable running experience. The name for these shoes was inspired by the earths tectonic plate, inspiring their parallel carbon fiber plate design. These shoes are built for speed and bolsted by Vibram® Megagrip with Litebase construction outsoles plus ProFlyX™ midsole that merges a light, responsive foam base with ultra-soft foam under foot. This is Hoka's first trail shoe to incorporate propulsive, parallel carbon fiber plates for an extra edge while running. All of these great features are wrapped in a single-layer jacquard entineered mesh for the ultimate foot-hugging comfort. Do not have original box.
